Mere days after David Beckham, Landon Donovan, and the rest of their LA Galaxy teammates hoisted the MLS Cup, the league is busy again as the MLS Expansion Draft will be held today at 3pm EST.
The league's 18 teams and players will be holding their breath as the newest team for the 2012 season, the Montreal Impact, will select 10 players during today's draft. In the past, expansion drafts have given new teams a basis for building upon for their first season in MLS. Today will be no different, as the Impact have a host of talented players to consider choosing.
Not all current MLS players are eligible for selection. Earlier in the week MLS teams submitted a list to the league of the 11 players they were allowed to protect from being taken by the Impact. A complete list of unprotected players can be found here.
Among the top players eligible for selection are Freddy Adu (Philadelphia Union), Brian Ching (Houston Dynamo), Bobby Convey (San Jose Earthquakes), Omar Bravo (Sporting Kansas City), and Justin Mapp (Philadelphia Union).
While we're no experts, a detailed mock draft by some experts can be found here. Do you agree with the experts or disagree? Leave us a comment down below with your thoughts.
